NEED HELP/ADVICE FROM EXPERIENCED COUPLES!

[MeetTheBrowns 0]

Hello,

I am currently looking at options for bringing my boyfriend/ "Fiance" to the US. We have been discussing getting married this year/ early next year and I would like some advise as to what the best way to begin would be. If we get married we are looking at possbily around Christmas this year, other wise we would get married after the K-1 is approved (LORD willing) if we decide to go this route. We really want to be together as soon as possible, but we also want to do things the right way to ensure things get approved.

Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks!!!!

Comparison on K-3 vs CR-1 - http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/204324-wondering-if-i-made-a-mistake-marrying-in-us/page__view__findpost__p__3060767

although it's a comparison on k-3 vs CR-1, it actually is spot-on for k-1 vs CR-1 for stuff AFTER arrival in USA.

Well, in short the K1 would mean being together faster, but it is quite a bit more expensive. Plus it means you must get married within 90 days once in the USA, so it can be difficult to plan a big wedding or have a lot of foreign guests there.

Where is the beneficiary from? Will you have enough money to sponsor her financially? I am asking because in some countries, co-sponsors are not allowed for the K1 fiance visa.
